Thank you! Nice to know that you like my photos. I really enjoyed taking photos of Jubei because she’s just so pretty especially her eyes. I think that’s what make her look vibrant. ^^

It’s good that you got your Jubei. And yeah, KOS-MOS swimsuit ver. is very pretty, too bad I don’t have her in my collection.

Thanks for the info about Toyslogic. I hope you’ll visit Toy Pusher again soon. ^^

Oh. I’m no photographer myself, so the only thing I really judge in a photo is if it has a good perspective, and if the photo itself is clear. I really like your photos than other reviewers, because yours’ seem so much more vibrant. :D
And Yagyu Jubei finally came in today. (Booyah!) And yes. She is ridiculously pretty. Probably the prettiest figure I have in my collection, next to swimsuit KOS-MOS (by Alter of course. :D)

As for Toyslogic, I don’t find them to be particularly bad. However, since they are a US based store, expect to wait at least an extra month after the Japanese releases to get your stuff. Also, since almost everything I ordered from them was something from Alter (and since Alter absolutely loves to delay their releases) it took ages for them to come out, on top of the slower US releases.
The figures do cost a bit more on toyslogic, but then again, to counter that, US shipping is much cheaper than paying premium shipping prices for overseas shipping.

One good thing I like about Toyslogic is, they seem to buy their figures based on a stock quota system rather than buying only based on the number of preorders made by the customers. They have a set quota (indicated by a bar on each item page), and if they are all filled, then the preorder will close. However, if that quota isn’t met, and the preorder period is over. Then chances are, if you still place an order with them, you’ll likely receive the item still.

I usually try to buy figures from other places, but I use toyslogic as a last resort (It was my last resort for Yagyu Jubei. :D She’s so darned hard to get now, after her release.)

Hello there. Thanks for visiting my blog. ^^

I haven’t tried ordering from toyslogic. Are they any good? I hope you’ll get your Jubei figure soon.

There are a lot of other beautiful photos of Jubei and I’m glad you like my set. She’s so pretty so most of the pictures came out well, I still have a lot to learn about photography, though. ^^;

Such a pretty figure. I’ve been waiting for ages for my Yagyu Jubei figure to come in, and the guys I ordered from (toyslogic.com) finally shipped her yesterday. I guess, it would make sense for the US to get her a month later. But, I’ve been waiting way too long. I’m so happy I’m getting her. :D

And your pictures are awesome. I think for some reason, your camera shots make Jubei-chan look cuter than the other reviewers.

Thanks Lylibellule. Glad you liked the photos. ^^ I think Jubei can easily become a collector’s favorite.

I think white background would have been better but I can’t find one so I settled for blue instead ^^;

Wow you ordered Sanada Yukimura! I actually like her better than Jubei but her eyebrows threw me off a little. She’s still a favorite though. I love her costume. I’d buy her if I have the chance but I bet she’ll cost a premium.

Something about these kinds of toys being so beautifully sculpted that I feel dirty for staring.
